Pyorrhea:

Pyorrhea or periodontitis refers to an advanced stage of periodontal disease in which the ligaments and bones that support the teeth become inflamed and infected. It is usually a result of gingivitis a periodontal disease that infects the gum through plaque leading to the formation of a pocket between the teeth that trap the plaque. If left untreated pyorrhea can cause halitosis (bad breath) in which the jaw bone is slowly eroded due to painful and bleeding gums. Eventually the loss of tooth support can cause tooth loss and this disease is the primary cause of tooth loss in adults

Considering that periodontal (gum) diseases are usually painless it is not unusual for it to go undetected until it is too late. Early symptoms of pyorrhea are similar to the symptoms of gingivitis and include a visible change in the gums. Gums will appear shiny and bright-red or red-purple. Additionally affected gums tend to bleed easily (even from regular teeth brushing) are swollen and are tender when touched but otherwise painless.

Considering that plaque forms on teeth as quickly as four hours after brushing the best method in preventing pyorrhea and periodontal diseases in general is through daily brushing and flossing with additional professional cleaning.

Mercol RA-12 is the most effective medicine for the patients having Pyorrhea problems.
